DESCRIPTION OF A SECTOR MESH

This mesh is a part of a polar mesh bounding by two radius and two angles. It is defined by a num_r * num_t matrix of points describing num_t-1 angular sectors and num_r concentric arcs of circle. The mesh is structured as following:

num_r Number of concentric circles

num_t Number of angles

r Array of num_r radius of the circles. This array may follow the rule :

r[i] < r[i+1] [forall] i, 0<=i<=num_r -2

t Array of num_t angles (in radian). This array may follow the rule:

t[j] < t[j+1] [forall] j, 0<=j<=num_t -2

0 <= t[j] <= 2[pi] [forall] j, 0<=j<=num_t -1

s Matrix of num_r * num_t values, one for each mesh node. These values are used to color the mesh depending on contouring values.

v Matrix of num_r * num_t vectors, one for each node of the mesh

Sample of sector mesh with num_r = 6 and num_t = 7
